Guys, I know if you are a salaried employee, you can justify any absences over 90/180 days with a letter from your employer but what if someone is self employed ? One of my friends is doing a business (imports products from China) and his ILR is due in Nov 2012, but his absences are already over 40...

You can skip ILR for your UK born kids and can just apply for yourself, your wife and your son who was born in Pakistan. UKBA will have no issue in this as this is a common practice (most applicants don’t bother for ILR for their UK born kid(s) and apply straight for Citizenship). Do you mean there...

Hello I am due to apply for ILR on 1st June currently Tier 1 visa. My visa is due to expire on 15th June. Am I able to change the employment while ILR is processing?
